Description



About the Book



A "New York Times"-bestselling author chronicles the chilling story of Chaz Higgs, an ER nurse found guilty in June 2007 of murdering his wife, former Nevada State Controller Kathy Augustine. Original.



Book Synopsis



Kathy Augustine was a controversial two-term Nevada State Controller. In 2003, her husband Chuck died of an apparent stroke. Only a month later, she married Chaz Higgs, an ER nurse who, it was later revealed, had attended to her late husband just before his death.

Three years later, fifty-year-old Kathy died after a heart attack--the result, her family and friends believed, of a stressful political campaign. But when an autopsy of Kathy's body revealed no signs of heart disease, investigators dug deeper into Kathy's case...only to find the presence of a powerful, paralyzing emergency-room drug in Kathy's system. A jury would later charge Nurse Chaz with murder in the first degree. But could Kathy's first husband "also"""have been the victim of Chaz's treachery? And just how much did Kathy know? This is the shocking true story of a family torn apart by lies, medical crime, and "POISONED LOVE."
